7. Training Details
3.1 Training Process:
On 18th
of December, 2017 I went to Ammann Apollo
India Private Ltd., to submit my NOC letter to HR
department of the industry to get permission to complete my
training in the premises of the industry. Where I need to meet
Mr. Chetan Jani, who is the Head of HR Department, but
unfortunately, we don’t get chance to meet him, so we met
Mr. Arif. Who issued my NOC letter and get me a permission
letter for industrial training for the duration from 18th
December 2017 to 30th
December 2017. He is very helpful
person. He gave me all the information related to this training
which seems very helpful to me and he told me about rules
and regulations which I should have to follow during this
training.
After getting the permission to perform our industrial
training, I went to Mr. Hiren Sathvara who is the manager in
the fabrication unit of plant of various kind. He gave us
information about the fabrication and assembly unit of plant
section. He told which kind of plant the industry basically
manufacture and which kind of plant were under
manufacturing process at that moment. He gave me advice
from where to start my industrial training in order to
understand the process of manufacturing of the plant and
working of the plant.

8. 3.2 Plants:
Ammann Apollo India Private Ltd. is manufacturing
two different kind of plants namely, asphalt mixing plant
and concrete mixing plant. They manufacture various
range of plant according to batch, continuous and mobility
such as
 Valuetec 80
 ANP 1000-2000
 Countermix 90-120
 Wetmix 100-250
 Drummix 60-90 M
 Drummix 60-120.
During my training period, the company
manufacturing ANP 1500-2000 Asphalt batch mix
plant. So, I get chance to know about that plant.
ANP 1500-2000 Asphalt batch mix plant have
different kind of section which are manufactured in
fabrication section and then the parts tested and assembled
together in assembly section. There were two fabrication
unit and two assembly unit for making these plants. The
fabrication unit have no of machines for different
machining processes.
The unit have hydraulic presses of different capacity,
drilling machines with different ranges, bandsaw cutting
machine, Angle plate cutting machines, Kaltenbach KDM
615, Bystronic laser cutting machine ByLaser 4400, Sheet
straightening machine, three Trimens Shearing Machine,
three Shell rolling CNCs, three Messer plasma cutting
machine, Bystronic CNC press break. The fabrication and

9. assembly both unit have different ranges of cranes from
0.5T-40T in order to move heavy machineries and metal
parts.
ANP 1500-2000 batch mix plant have number of different
sections which are explained below with their purposes:
 Cold bin feeder is the first major component of the
asphalt batch mix plant. There are four bins in which
aggregate is added. With the sufficient storage of 8 cubic
meter per bin, the quality of a mix is decisively
influenced right from the feed stage. These aggregate
then further added to drying drum through conveyer belt.

10.  The drying drum is rotating thus transferring the
aggregates from one end to the other. During this course
of the transfer, the aggregates are thoroughly heated and
its temperature is raised to the desired level. The burner
makes up for hot temperature in the closed dryer
chamber removing the moisture from the same. It is
important to control the temperature inside the dryer.
 Bag House Filter is pollution control system of mixing
plant. It cleans the air coming out from the drying drum
and removes the dust from air. It basically contains of
adequately sized filtration area and filter bag material
ensures global standard emission control.
 As soon as the aggregates discharges through the drying
drum, they are transferred to the buckets. By the buckets
the aggregate transferred to the vibratory screen through
the Hot Elevator.
 Vibrating screen is the unit with vibrating motors and it
rested on heavy duty springs. This unit contain different
size of screens in order to separate the aggregate
according to their sizes. It contains large screening area
and having sufficient area for maintenance. It removes
oversized materials.

11.  The appropriate amount of different sized aggregate
added into the mixer. The mixer is used for mixing the
aggregate in proper amount and in the mixer the bitumen
is sprayed on the aggregate. The aggregates are mixed up
until the proper batch is ready.
 Bitumen is stored inside the bitumen tank. In the bitumen
tank, the temperature of bitumen kept constant is order
to maintain it in liquid phase. The pump is used to flow
the bitumen from the bitumen tank to the mixture. The
bitumen tanks are made in different sizes according to
the capacity of plant.
 Hot Mix Silo is used to store the asphalt batch coming
out from the mixer. It isolates the plant production from
the traffic movement of tippers and plant can be run on
continuous production rate for maximum efficiency and
quality of mix. It also makes truck loading faster because
the truck does not have to wait for all the batches to be
discharged from the mixer.
 Control system: Fully computerized air-conditioned
control cabin, with on board electrical power control
console, distribution switch board, fully automatic
process and sequence control. User friendly software on
computer with parallel PLC man machine interface gives
total reliability and ensures top notch performance.

12. 3.3 Machines:
Ammann Apollo India Private Ltd. is also making
machines for the road construction industry. The company
makes variety of pavers for asphalt and wet mix. They also
making some complimentary products such a Curb laying
machines, bitumen sprayers and brooms.
Pavers:
Apollo made variety of paving machines for every
construction needs. They are basically making two
kinds of pavers namely, Hydrostatic Sensor Paver
Finishers (AP Series) and mechanical paver finishers
(RM 6 HES/WM 6 HES).
3.3.1 Sensor Pavers:

13. In Hydrostatic Sensor Paver Finishers, hydraulics
is used to control the whole system. There were two
units for sensor pavers. One of them is fabrication unit
in which they manufacture the chassis and screed of
sensor pavers of various capacity.
In the fabrication unit, there were lots of machine
such as sheet straightening machine, no of drilling
machines, Trulaser laser cutting machine, AMADA
laser cutting machine, tapper machine, lathe machines,
shaper machine, planner machine, hydraulic keyway
milling machine, boreing machine. After
manufacturing of chassis, they went through the sand
blasting process in order to get better surface finish but
they use small metal spherical grains instead of sand.
Then, they paint chassis with appropriate colours.
The other unit is assembly unit, where the chassis
assembled with other parts such as engines, pumps,
screeds, wheels or tracks. They use six-cylinder diesel
engine of Kirloskar or Ashok Leyland. During my
training, they were testing on new design of paver
which they imported from Switzerland from Ammann.
So, I got the chance to see that.

14.  In AP series there are four kind of pavers they
made, according to its capacity. AP 550 and AP
600 are wheeled paver finisher and AP 800 and AP
1000 are track mounted paver finisher.
 The AP 550 has a basic screed width of 2.5 metres
and is hydraulically extendible up to 4.5 metres.
Bolt-on mechanicalextensions,on either side of the
screed, offer a pavingwidth of 5.75 metres.
 The AP 600 is also offeredwiththe TV 4500screed,
with a basic width of 2.5 metres and hydraulically
extendible to 4.5 metres. Bolt-on mechanical
extensions of 2 × 650 mm and 2 × 750 mm offer
pavingwidth of 6-7 metres.TheTV 4500screedhas
dieselheating.
 AP 800 is equipped with the hydrostatic TV 4900
screed, enabling paving widths of up to 7 m with
mechanicalbolt on extension boxes.
 AP 1000 has a basic screed width of 3 Meter. It is
hydraulically extendable up to 5.56 Meter. Bolt on
mechanicalextensionsof2 Metereachoneitherside
of screed are offeredfor pavingwidth of 9.56 Meter.
 In Sensor Pavers hydrostatic controls are used to
control the steering and transmission are
hydraulically controlled. Also, the conveyors and
auger drive are powered by a variable
displacement hydraulic pump and fixed motor for
material feed. The tamping and vibration of screed
are controlled by hydraulic system. Diesel burners
provide uniform screed heating. LPG heating is
offered as an option. All systems are controlled by
dashboard. Sensors provide automatic slope
control and high-level accuracy.

15. 3.3.2 Mechanical Pavers:
In mechanical paver finishers, the hopper
operation, screed lifting and vibrating/tamping
arrangement are hydraulically controlled, whether other
systems are mechanically controlled. There were two
units for making Mechanical Pavers.
One of them is fabrication unit, where they made
chassis of Mechanical pavers, gears, shafts, gear boxes,
couplers, etc. In fabrication unit, there were many
machines such as Bandsaw cutting machine, drilling
machines, Messer plasma cutting machines, Trimens
shearing machines, tapering machine, hydraulic
keyway milling machine, slotting machine, CNC
machines, Gear tooth rounding machine, milling
machine, hobbing machine, grinding machine,
broaching machine, etc. Here, I learned lots of things
especially, how they made different gears for gear box
is amazing and I learned a lot from that.

16. Another unit is assembly unit, where they
assembled the chassis of mechanical paver with
different gear boxes, engine and screeds. They use four
or six-cylinder engine of Kirloskar or Ashok Leyland.
They also assembled gear boxes themselves, so I got
chance to saw that process. The mechanical paver’s
design is different from sensor paver and it is used for
both wet-mix aggregate and asphalt.
3.3.3 Complimentary Products:
Ammann Apollo India Pvt. Ltd. also makes
some complimentary products such as,
 Curb Paver
 Bitumen Sprayers
 Brooms for Asphalt surfaces
 Curb pavers are used to made dividers. They
made two models of curb pavers namely, KLM
40 and KLM 1200.
 They are also making Bitumen Sprayers that
used to spray bitumen on the roads.

17.  They are also making brooms for asphalt
surfaces. They used for prepare a surface for
asphalt surfacing.

18. Conclusion
During all of this time of my training period, I learnt a lot
from my experience in Ammann Apollo. I learnt that how they
work in industry according to some factors such as production
rate, time limits, raw materials available, etc. How they work
with group of peoples, how they manufacture different parts
with different processes and available machineries. In all the
units they follow 6S rule that enhances the accuracy, precision
and also reduces time for manufacturing. By this training, I
improve my technical skills by observing machineries and
learnt by some professionals over there. I also gain knowledge
about different kinds of machineries and operations.
